Glory Holes

Yes, they also come in silver. I have seen the silver ones in stock at Racer Edge in Brooklyn 718 531 3100 - ask for Gerald.
If you care enough to ask, they're probably too heavy. 
They look really burly.

Hmmm... Glory holes come in a lot of different colors but I've never heard of silver ones...
If you want somgething really light, chect out the Wellgo MG-1. Magnesium body, sub 400g, I think.
Definitely not a freeride / huck pedal, but might work for you depending on your style and how big you go.

I talked to Andy and he doesn't know the weight. Why don't you call Gerald as I told you he even has the silver ones in stock and I am sure he could give you the wieght.
oh god. I thought this thread was about something completely different. Haha.
i remember weighing them in around the 600g range roughly.
Well, Gerald said the GH weighs 1.75 lbs so 797g. It didn't sound like he weighed them. It sounded like he just guessed or used a inaccurate scale. Anyway, thats too heavy for a pair of pedals considering a normal set weighs 400-500g. A whole lb heavier is a lot. Im trying to lighten up the bike not make it heavier.
ill throw mine on a gram scale tonight or tomorrow, i remeber 600g b/c i thought they added about 1/2 a pound to what i was running before.
The Lenosky Pedals look exactly the same as the Race pedals...except no center pins and the pins don't screw into inserts. They grip real well too in all sorts of conditions.
The lenosky's do not look the same as the Race pedal they are octagonal in shape with no stainless steel inserts just set screws.menachite said:
Also the weight is about 600 grams.
2005 version will much lighter.
Well you should know shouldn't you. The ones pictured above look like the Lenosky pedals I bought...sans the center pins and the pin inserts.andynycfreeride said:
Got a picture of the Lenosky pedals for everyone Andy?
there stuff is really nice but to $$$
Andy,
Nice to see you step in and let everyone know whats really up. A lot of people were confused about the diffrence between these 2 pedals. Im also hoping you got some cool things coming out for next season.
Yes it is $$$ but its money well spent. They are the only pedals that have lasted me a full season, and they are still as functional as they were the day i got them. Last season i think i went through 1 set of eastons and 2 sets of wellgo mags. I'm as much of a weight weenie as anyone else on this board and i was very skeptical when i first got these pedals. But after riding them for a season i doubt i would ride anything else.

Well, I thought that Gerald guessed on the weight so I emailed Andy at NYC Freeride directly. He told me about 600g. So I emailed him back and asked if that was a guess or did he actually weigh them. He emailed me again and said he guessed and said they are strong pedals and he didn't know the weight. What what a bunch of BS just for a weight of a pedal. Plus, great customer service..... :mumble:
Actually, a "whole" does weigh something. A "hole" does not.biggins said:
Dude are you kidding me...... maybe you should lighten up yourself.Kanter said:
If you want a light piece of crap that your foot wont stick to and will loose its pins and possibly break entirely after the first rock you clip then go for it.
But you do realize your going crazy over a weight difference that you will never notice while your riding. Honestly......
If you are after a product that can help you ride better , look better, and last forever this is it.
Customer Service at NYC Freeride is no doubt the best you can possibly get. I have seen it first hand and many others out there can back that up.
The fact that the owner and creator has answered a email of yours is impressive to me. The fact that he even told you he guessed and did not lie about the exact weight is better.
The design and craftsmanship on any of these products are impeccable.
you will see.
I didn't mean to come off mad. I just think its funny no one can get a weight. How hard is it to put a pair of pedals on a scale? Almost every website has weights now-a-days. It would be nice to just get a weight. A 1/2 lb difference in weight just for pedals is a lot. People go to Ti springs on shocks and in forks just to lose a 1/2 pound. People make decisions on forks over 1/2 lb. People even make decisions on 1/2 lbs on frames. Im not saying everyone does or even that I do but some riders do.
I am trying to build a lighter bike that I can trail/FR/DH so weight is a concern. I thought the GH might just be a middle ground, weight wise, pedal that I could run. I dont want a 400g pedal and definately dont want a 800g pedal.
Oh and by the way I am trying to lighten myself up, too.Ive lost over 20 lbs, down from 208. Im shooting for 170-175 for next season.

They are 750g.
First let me start by saying that I don't have an accurate scale around and rather than give you some b.s. info like some other companies do I was honest and said that I didn't know the weight.Kanter said:
I also offered a different model more towards your concerns.
You have been the only person yet to make such a stink about the exact weight.
I cannot justify spending a couple hundred dollars on an electronic scale to be EXACT for one POSSIBLE customer.
And what about customer service?
I was honest and replied right away to your request.
You could ask anybody that knows me or my company and they all will say the same thing that I'm really informative about everything that has to do with my product and really helpful with problems or issues!
Methinks that in order to be competitive in the high-end MTB components marketplace, a manufacturer would want to know and advertise the weight of their products.
I see a LOT of discussions about complete bike and component weights on this board.
As far as I can tell, only the most hardcore shuttle-only BigDrop-huckers and maybe some DJers don't care about weight.
And are electronic scales really hundreds of $$? I bet one could buy 2 nice scales for the price of one pair of NYCFreeride pedals...
-rob in Brooklyn.
